Always a bit confusing since reddit has admins and moderators, and they are very different. Admins are reddit employees, moderators are just random people who run a specific subreddit.

So if I understand correctly, this was a site level feature, and admins gave a 1h heads up to the moderators of the specific subreddits using that feature, allowing the moderators to sell early.

Wouldn't the blame here be more on the admins? Is there a reason this "heads up" was secretly only given to mods, and not just announced publicly right away?
